US police officer charged with murder of black man who sparked unrest – BBC News

Accused of killing a police officer for the death of an unarmed black American in the city of Minneapolis, it has sparked days of great unrest.

The police station has been on fire all night, and officers have been firing tear gas and rubber bullets. Donald Trump tweeted that the “thieves” were dishonoring George Floyd’s memory.

But Twitter accused him of “praising violence” with a message that said, “When the rankings start, the shooting begins.”
